Forging Ahead

Every day, more work. Here's what I did today:

Mostly I worked on the flesh tones of the woman on the ladder. Surprisingly, Burnt Sienna and white— in this case, Zinc White— create the exact color of the skin in the photo.

I'm trying to vary the skin tones, which are very flat in the original reference photo. The photo was taken outside, under a blue sky, so I think I want to work a little of that blue into the decolletage area.

I significantly darkened the seating area on the left side, and sharpened the cast shadows of the wall art.

More work on those tiny faces, and some of the background.
